My question is on the same topic. I do not know if the Minister just takes everybody for a fool. Does he really expect people to believe that after the Government brings in amendments to designate LNG terminals as strategic infrastructure, which gets to bypass the normal planning process, it is a technical thing? This is in the context of many of the Green Party's coalition partners being on the record forcefully and repeatedly advocating for LNG terminals. Get real here. Either the Minister is incredibly naive and I do not believe he is that naive, or he is playing a game. There is a massive push to get fossil fuel infrastructure, LNG terminals, developed. The legislation is being amended to make it easier for this to happen.
